Part 4/7:
Legal and Institutional Responsibility
Beyond individual responsibility, there is a pressing need for governance and institutional accountability. Recent advancements in cyber law and international cooperation, as discussed with the establishment of the UN Cyber Crime Convention, indicate a growing recognition of the challenges posed by cybercrime globally. These laws aim to enhance cooperation among nations to address the rapid rise of digital scams.
In India, policies have been introduced to enforce platform responsibility, requiring social media companies to manage and mitigate the damage caused by misleading content effectively. The responsibility lies not only with individuals to protect themselves but also with platforms to ensure user safety continuously.
